Slim Bottlebrush Tree

Slim Bottlebrush Tree Callistemon viminalis

A great hedge form of dwarf bottlebrush tree with an uprigth, columnar growth habit. Use as a small specimen tree in patio gardens or other tight spaces or use Slim to create a flower-filled hedge or screen in Zones 8-11. Slim produces tons of large red flower spikes in spring and early summer. It’s semi-dwarf & upright habit, abundance of large bottlebrush flowers, and good winter performance in milder climates distinguish Slim from others.

Growing Slim Bottlebrush

• Plant in a location with full sun exposure, ensuring it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and flowering.
• Provide well-draining soil, such as sandy or loamy soil, to prevent waterlogging and promote healthy root development.
• Water regularly during the establishment period, then reduce watering frequency, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between sessions, as it is moderately drought-tolerant once established.
• Prune the plant after flowering to maintain its shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth.
• Hardy in USDA zones 9-11, it thrives in warm climates and can tolerate a range of soil conditions, including poor soils.
